Just unset MACHINE and MACHINE_ARCH at the beginning of the script? I
mean, is build.sh documented to work by inheriting those from the environment?

Nono... I'm thinking for now you can just go ahead and do:
case $MACHINE_ARCH in
# Add MACHINE_ARCH's that need special handling here.
# And provide a reasonable default for everything else.
*eb) BUILDID=eb;;
*el) BUILDID=el;;
esac
...and I'd rename "bi_endian" to "multi_arch" ... because that's
really how we want to think about it.
